Practice exam Example 1: Today is your first day at University. You need to ensure the time and location of your lecturers/tutorials, plan your route to ensure that you have sufficient travel time and funds available (e.g., public transport ticket cost or uber fee). Throughout the journey you need to ensure sufficient quality control, for exam making sure that you are on the right bus, or taking the right driving/cycling/walking route. You would also need to be aware of factors, such as the weather, which may impact your plans. (1) Use the five PMBOK group processes to describe how you could consider the journey to University as a project (2) Using PMBOK, identify and discuss three knowledge areas that could help you. What are these knowledge areas and how could they support you to achieve your objective of arriving at University at the required time. (3) What are the risks associate with this project and how would you manage them? Example 2: Consider Assignment 2 for Foundations of Project Management as a project. You need to ensure that you understand the requirements of the assignment, liaise with your lecturer/ tutor to ensure that your understanding is accurate, and craft a high quality assignment that meets the assessment needs documented in the rubric. Considering your assignment as a project and using PMBOK: (1) Develop a work break down (WBS) structure to show the key activities required to complete Assignment 2. (2) Use the WBS to develop a schedule to show how you would submit the assignment on time. (3) Identify two quality assurance measures that you could use to ensure that the project meets the requirements of the assignment Example 3: You and your family at organising Christmas lunch at your house this year. You have a large family and expect 20 people to attend. Four people who will attend have dietary requirements, of these two people are vegans, one is gluten free, and one is both gluten and dairy free. Your mum loves to cook, you love to decorate your dad loves to clean, your brother and sister love planning the menu. (1) Imagine that this is a project. Develop a RACI to document the key tasks that are required to be completed for the lunch, assigning roles and responsibilities. Imagine that your brother and sister argue about what should go on the menu. How could you use the RACI to resolve this conflict? (2) Complete a stakeholder analysis. Who are stakeholders of the lunch? What is their role/interest? How will you manage stakeholder relationship to ensure that all salient stakeholders enjoy the lunch? Hint: watch the lecture for week 10 to ensure that you understand what a salient stakeholder is. (3) Develop a communication plan for the project. Who do you need to communicate with about what? How will you do this, e.g., face to face meetings, emails, text, phone call, zoom, Facebook, etc. Example 4: You completing a home renovation. You want to ensure that the project is delivered on time and on budget. (1) How would you manage procurement related to the project? (2) What cost management tools from PMBOK could you use? (3) What tools can you use to: a develop a clear scope; and b. avoid scope creep? Practice exam Example 1: Today is your first day at University.
